On to writing. So much has changed. Faeries will be on hold for a little longer as the publisher is still setting things up and making sure all legalities are in order. It's going to be a good company, I can feel it, and I'm very excited for the new director and owner... it brings back memories of when Wyvern Publications was new. It also gives me some breathing space to finish my other projects because as soon as she takes on Faeries, I'll need to crack on with book two.

Blood Tide is still with Springbok Publications and I've just finished reviewing the e-proof. I can't believe how much it's improved since the manuscript was left with them... I truly am blessed to have great indy publishers!!! It will be released as soon as it's ready - I know myself how long these things can take and I'll post links to the book as soon as it's up.

My third publisher (really, three??? I'm either doing something very right or very wrong) has taken my last children's stories for the anthology and is reviewing the changes now. It's been a boon having a dedicated children's e-publisher, and now these stories are going into their own dedicated anthology with an emphasis on my Cornish storyteller collection. It will be out when it's out and I'll post those links too.

As for random anthology contributions, I think I'm finished with those. I've lost count of the number of collections I'm part of and although I loved doing it, it takes time from my larger projects.

Write, write, write, make jewellery, prep the house, create the Tudor style garden, work on the putting together the natural looking playground, blog, argh, it's all a spin. Some big changes are about to take place and when I'm at liberty, I'll write about them. But for now, it's all work and very little play. Oh, and some good publishing :-)

About Me

I am an archaeologist and freelance writer. Previously a staff writer for the children's literary website knowonder.com and an editor for the Wyvern Publications team, I spend most of my time reading, researching and writing historical fiction - although, I do enjoy as much time as I can with my family and enjoying the Southern California coastline when I'm home. I also write an historical fiction murder mystery series under the pen name of Lizzy Drake.
